description Vaccination is supposed to be the most reliable means to end the COVID 19 pandemic, but recently there have been reports of thrombosis and thrombocytopenia in patients receiving the vaccine especially ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca University of Oxford and Serum Institute of India). This has been termed as vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) and vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT). This is a challenging situation and patients are treated with Fondaparinaux and Rivaroxaban after thrombocytopenia is corrected. Herewith, we report a case of VITT who presented to our hospital and was successfully treated over a weeks’ time.
